@forevertogether I'm excited to use them as well. I decided to splurge and get the trial too for peace of mind. i want to look the best i possibly can, and I'm scheduling the trial the day of our welcome party so I can get some use out the makeup then too!

Hopefully your resort will waive the outside vendors, or maybe just allow you to pay day passes?

That's great! I'm almost certain that's what I'm going to do as well, once I know we can go ahead with our plans!

My maid of honor booked an outside make up artist and YES the royal was charging a vendor fee. We cancelled and just booked everyone at the resorts Spa. I personally do not feel a $350 fee is worth any makeup. Take a taxi to a outside salon or review the resorts spa

For my hair- I'm planning on letting the resort do it (its included in my package)- to ensure I get what I want, I'm printing out pictures of what I want to bring with me and show them. I'm still debating rather I want to do a test trail in the salon before the big day.

For the shoes- I ordered some of the "bead barefoot sandals"- I found some cute ones on amazon for anywhere from 3-20 dollars.

For the dress-

I ordered mine from e-bay lol- It might seem silly, but it saved me a lot of money. I ended up getting it for 100 dollars, and it was exactly what I wanted.

It arrived about a month or so after I ordered, and came out perfect. *Strapless fitted with lace- laceup in the back incase I decide to lose or gain a few pounds before my trip
